I thought most of the old songs are like that probably till the 70s atleast

I too think like that; I think even MSV did that if I am not wrong

well....most of them tend to stick to the tunes Bharathi himself put to the songs, which makes that claim a bit dubious.....

though bharathi has composed his songs no one ahere's to that tune and each one sing in their one tune. so I think mostly the bharathi songs in tamil cinema are all tuned by the music directors; I might be wrong in few songs but mostly it was tuned by music directors of that film.

Now that its been about a month(and more) or so since the audio release of Vettayadu Vilayadu, Pudhupettai and Godfather. Movies had atleast one listenable song. What did you guys feelt about the music in these as well as other recently released ones in general?

Godfather - I did'nt venture listening any song other than 'Innisai' - the Mahathi-Saindhavi version. First listening made me feel like it had more effects of KS.Ravikumar on Rahman's music as it did in Thenali.

Vettayadu Vilayadu

Manjal Veyyil would be higher on the list. Liked Hariharan and a few tunes in the song.

Partha Mudhal is good for the voices, but damn horrible monotonous beats

Karka Karka is like 36-24 in Panchatantiram. nothing special. sounds like a standard intro song.

Why does Harris Jayaraj overload his songs with too many beats? infact there are very few songs he's come up with these monotonous beats.

Pudhupettai

I loved Oru Naalil inspite of Yuvan singing it. Enga area comes second on that list bcos I havent heard the other songs many times. Boss has been recommending Pul Pesum for quite some time. kekkanummmmm
~~~~~~
Ragasiyamanadhu Kadhal from Kodambakkam (Harisha Ragavendhra version) is pretty neat on first couple of listenings
~~~~~
Poi, Jerry, Azhagai Irukkirai Bayamai Irukkiradhu are safely avoidable.

Pen in your thoughts too. Any recommendations, please do

thanks dinesh for this thread, should divert some music discussions into this thread than overloading them on Random Thoughts thread.

Not worth it, except for 'Ennaye Enakku' every other song has a 'saavu molam' beat Ever since 'Manmadha Rasa' came that beat has caught up with every composer and that sucks. 'Tirupathi Vantha' might be better of the 'saavu kuthu' songs. We have better kuthu songs than this one, would'nt survive among them.

Morover I dont pin much hopes on Bharathwaj, he gives a hit song with the frequency Deva does.

Sudum Nilavu sounds good, but doesnt it sound like its inspired from mulitple songs (Azhagana Ratchasiye is the start). Few which my friend said hearing the song: azhagana ratchasiye, poo maalai vangi vandhal pookal illaye, chinna kannan azhaikiran, naadha vinodhangal (only swarangal bit "ni, ga-ma-pha-dha ni" )
~~~~~~
I liked Nenjankootil from Dishyum is a nice song, one of the songs I liked after Innisai in Godfather.
~~~~~~
I didn'nt note who the composer for Kodambakkam was The start of Ragasiyamanadhu sounds a little like the old Vani Jairam song 'Aaramba Kaalam', after a transition music it does'nt sound like an old song.

Heard Solla Varthaigal just once on the day you posted in SOTD, has'nt caught up with me yet.
